What mirror is makeup mirror concave convex or plane mirror?
concave
Why concave mirror is used in search lights?
The concave shape focuses the light into a narrow beam. If the mirror was convex, the light would be spread out - useless for searching into any distance.
Why inner curved surface is known as Concave mirror?
Inner curved surface is known as concave mirror because inner side of the spherical mirror is polished to reflect the light is called concave mirror,and concave mirror is know because concave mirror converges parallel beam of light.
What is a concave mirror?
A concave mirror is curved like the inside of a bowl instead of being flat.
How is light reflected off of a concave mirror?
The way light is reflected is different in a concave mirror depending on the position and distance from the object. when light hits the concave mirror when it is near the object, the rays are scattered and it forms a virtual image, i.e it does not come on the screen. the image will be erect and higly magnified. When it is taken further from the object, the image becomes inverted and real, i.e it can be seen on a screen, and will still be magnified.
The distance between a mirror and its focal point is called the?
Focal length, positive number with a concave mirror, negative for a convex mirror.
Why do images in a concave mirror appear inverted?
If an object's distance from the concave mirror is greater than the mirror's focal length, then the mirror image of it will be inverted. If the distance from the concave mirror is less than the focal length of the mirror, the image will not be inverted. No image will be produced if the distance from the mirror to the object is equal to the mirror's focal length.
Is a diverging mirror always concave?
a diverging mirror is a convex mirror.
What is the difference between the focus of concave and convex mirror?
the focal point of a concave mirror is positive while a convex is negative
What factor influences the image produced by reflection of an object in a concave mirror?
Distance from the mirror, curvature of the mirror.
Why the image formed in the mirror used in vehicles as rear view mirror is smaller in size than the object?
because the mirror used is concave mirror.
Which factor most influences the image produced by reflection of an object in a concave mirror?
distance from mirror
Which factors most influences the image produced by reflection of an object in an concave mirror?
distance from mirror
Is concave mirror in shape of parabola?
no concave mirror is in shape of concave mirror
Why do we use concave mirror as converging mirror?
why do we use concave mirror as converging mirror
What factor most influences the image produced by reflection of an object in a concave?
Distance from the mirror, curvature of the mirror.
What mirror is makeup mirror concave convex or plane mirror?
